Johanne-jacket, 1 ply spæl sheep, knitting kit

Light, short and feminine jacket, with elegant balloon sleeves. It is knitted in 1-ply thin spælsau yarn from Lofoten.

The jacket is designed to be slightly figure-hugging over the shoulders and back, while the body should have good range of motion. The jacket can be closed with just a buckle or 1-2 buttons, or buttons along the entire button placket.

Designed by Johanne Angelsen / Lofoten Wool.
